Hawaiian shirts might be a bit of a cliche, but we think they still have a place in society. Whether you’re going to a fancy dress party as Ace Ventura or you want to make a statement when you next go to the beach, you’re going to need a Hawaiian shirt. If you wear it right, there’s something timelessly cool about a Hawaiian shirt. If you get it wrong, you could be the laughing stock of the beach. Okay, maybe that’s going a bit far. The secret to wearing a Hawaiian shirt well is to do it with confidence. Let everyone know that you chose to wear your Hawaiian shirt and you’re 100% proud of it. Also, wear it with a pair of plain trousers or shorts and some sunglasses. Maybe get a straw hat and a piña colada if you want to sell it. We’ve been searching for the best Hawaiian shirts for men that can pull off the style. Here are our favorite 10 shirts.

SSLR Button Down Hawaiian Shirt

First up on this list, we’ve got the SSLR Men’s Short Sleeve Hawaiian Shirt. It’s a 100% cotton shirt that comes in over 40 different styles, so you can look the part on your beach vacation. You can go for the more modest Red Hibiscus flower design or choose one that’s covered in bananas. SSLR truly has a Hawaiian shirt to suit any personality.

One of the things we love most about this Hawaiian shirt, in particular, is the detail in the patterns. You could accuse them of being a little too busy, but on most of the shirts, it works great. It says on the product description that this is a regular fit shirt, but we’d call it more of a slim fit. It’s certainly tailored for a guy that works out regularly. The shirt also boasts a spread collar, short sleeves, and a curved hem, helping you look super relaxed at the next pool party, under the beach umbrella or BBQ you attend.

28 Palms is one of Amazon’s increasing number of brands. Yep, that’s right, Amazon has a brand that is almost solely dedicated to creating Hawaiian shirts. That’s how popular these things are.

Wear one of these and everyone will know that you’re a relaxed dude.

Available in 37 styles, you’ve got a huge amount of choice in your design. The good thing is, once you’ve found your perfect size, you can collect them all!

Alvish Hawaiian Shirts

CHECK PRICE ON AMAZON

Alvish makes some of the most authentic Hawaiian shirts on the market. Everything on this shirt is Hawaiian-themed. Even the buttons are made from wood and coconut shell. This attention to detail is important when you’re looking for the real deal! The shirt also has an oversized collar, which is a hallmark of the classic Hawaiian shirt.

Made from 100% polyester, Alvish Hawaiian Shirt is easily one of the most comfortable ones on this list. It’s a very soft and loose-fitting design that is perfect for beach trips and hot summer nights. If we have one complaint, it’s that it only comes in 11 styles, most of which are repeated patterns in different colors. If there was more choice, this would be one of the best Hawaiian shirts for men on the market.

On the product listing, Alvish claims that they have a high ‘fits as expected ratio’. However, if you take a look at the Amazon reviews, you’ll find a lot of customers suggesting that you should buy a size up from normal. With most Hawaiian shirts, it’s worth buying a size up. They’re not designed to be tight-fitting, so this is a safer bet. Alternatively, buy both sizes and send the wrong one back. Definitely a piece of clothing every guy needs.

This is our second range of Hawaiian shirts from Alvish. They come in a different range of styles and have a slightly wider fit than the fits shirt. Like the other Hawaiian shirts from Alvish, they have wooden/ coconut shell buttons. However, on this shirt, they’re even bigger, so you can show them off to your friends and prove that you have the most Hawaiian shirt. It also comes with 2 spare buttons, just in case you remove one by accident.

Alvish Hawaiian Flower Leaf Shirt only comes in a couple of different styles and 10 different colors. The patterns are a bit more striking than some of the Hawaiian shirts on this list, so they might not be for everyone. But, they’re perfect for the confident gentleman that wants to stand out from the crowd of Hawaiian shirt-wearers. Plus, it has a large pocket on the left breast, which can hold your Camel cigarettes or sunglasses.

Brooklyn Athletic is offering a more modern take on the classic Hawaiian shirt. Instead of the bowling shirt, loose-fitting style, this shirt is designed to hug your athletic body and show off all the work you’ve been doing. It says it’s a comfortable fit, but it’s slimmer than a traditional Hawaiian shirt. It’s also got rolled up t-shirt sleeves, which are designed to accentuate your biceps. If you work out regularly in your home gym, this shirt will look pretty good on you.

Brooklyn Athletics Hawaiian shirt comes in 11 different relaxed styles. This isn’t the most vibrant Hawaiian shirt on the market, but you could wear it in loads of different situations. It would look just as suitable in a bar as it would on the beach. The other thing we like about it is the combination of fabrics used in its construction – it’s 60% cotton and 40% polyester. That means it can be thrown in the washer with all of your other clothes without having to worry about it getting damaged.

Van Heusen Men’s Air Tropical Poly Rayon Shirt

CHECK PRICE ON AMAZON

The problem with a lot of Hawaiian shirts is that they tend to be tacky and made from low-quality materials. We’ve tried to find Hawaiian shirts that don’t follow this trend and we’re confident in saying that all of the shirts on this list are well made. The Van Heusen Shirt is the highest quality shirt we’ve featured. Not only is it carefully stitched and durable, but it’s also made from high-quality polyester that is both tough and durable.

The other great thing about this shirt is the range of subtle designs it comes in. Van Heusen has steered clear of bright colors and cartoony images and developed a classy range of Hawaiian shirts. These are the sort of shirts you can wear to a casual business lunch and then take to the beach afterward. They’re also super breathable and moisture-wicking, so you won’t get hot and sticky. These are the perfect Hawaiian shirts for men that want to blend in and still look and feel relaxed.

King Kameha Funky Hawaiian Shirt

If you’re looking for the polar opposite of the last shirt, you’ve found it. There’s nothing subtle or classy about King Kameha Funky Hawaiian Shirt. They’re the loudest and proudest Hawaiian shirts on this list. Wear this and you’ll stand out, even amongst a crowd of Hawaiian shirt-wearers. It might only come in 10 different styles, but each one is as bright and garish as the last.

The shirt is made from a dense polyester, which is how it holds its bright colors so well. This makes it thicker and less breathable than other shirts, but it’s not that noticeable. It’s still loose-fitting enough to allow plenty of air to reach your body when you’re out on the beach. Like a lot of Hawaiian shirts sold on Amazon, these shirts run a bit small. It’s probably worth buying a size up from what you’re used to. You can find plenty of information on the sizing in the Amazon Questions and Answers section. If you want the brightest Hawaiian shirts on the beach, this is the shirt for you.

RAISEVERN Men’s Tropical Hawaiian Shirt

Most Hawaiian shirts are decorated with flowers, palm trees, and maybe a beach skyline. This is all well and good, but you’re not going to stand out from the pack with one of those. This line of shirts from RAISEVERN offers something different. They have designs including pineapples with glasses, cats in tacos, and sloths riding dinosaurs. If that’s not going to get you noticed at your next beach party, we’re afraid nothing will.

RAISEVERN Men’s Tropical Hawaiian Shirts are not the best quality shirts on this list if we’re being completely honest. The combination of cotton, polyester, and spandex is pretty durable, but it’s not the most comfortable. However, all of that won’t matter when you have lines of people queueing up to tell you how awesome your shirt is. Is it a traditional Hawaiian shirt? No, not in the slightest. Is it going to make you the most popular person on the beach? Absolutely. You can even get matching shorts to create a full outfit. But that’s a brave look indeed.

Amazon Essentials Regular-Fit Print Shirt

If you’re looking for a cheap and cheerful Hawaiian shirt, Amazon Essentials has got you covered. Amazon Essentials is Amazon’s budget clothing line that sells high-quality, affordable clothes solely on Amazon. The best thing about buying from this brand is that they stand behind their products. Whilst they don’t provide a warranty on their clothes, they offer amazing customer service and are quick to replace items that don’t fit or aren’t up to standard. The reason is that Amazon knows the importance of having positive reviews.

Amazon Essentials Print Shirt is made from 100% cotton and is very well made. The short sleeves and left-breast pocket give the shirt a casual look. The fit is pretty loose as well, so you can buy the shirt in your normal size without worrying over whether it will fit. The only real downside of this shirt is that it’s only available in 4 designs, and only 2 of them could be considered Hawaiian-style. If they could offer a wider range of designs, this shirt would be up there with the best on the market.

Amazon Essentials Slim-fit Print Shirt

Last up on our list is the Amazon Essentials Men’s Slim-fit Short-Sleeve Print Shirt. If you feel like you recognize this shirt, that’s because it’s practically the same as the last shirt. The difference? This shirt is slim-fit instead of a regular fit. That means it’s more suited to men with an athletic build. If you have a bit of a beer gut, this shirt’s not going to do you any favors.

It’s made from the same material (100% cotton) and has short sleeves and a breast pocket. It also suffers from the same downside as the regular fit version in that it only comes in 4 different styles. This might not be the best Hawaiian shirt on the market, but it’s one of the most affordable shirts for men with athletic builds we could find.
